Abstract From the patient's point of view, pain is the most important symptom encountered in hand problems. Successful control of pain hinges upon an understanding of the available methods of treatment. Physicians who are actively interested in hand problems learn how to cope with pain through scattered reference material, experience, and word-of-mouth teaching. There is no satisfactory reference source to provide the general physician and surgeon, not possessing specific hand training, a broad picture of the treatment of pain in the hand so that they might acquire a practical understanding of the management of this problem. To satisfy this need, the available methods of dealing with pain in the hand are discussed here. Physical Methods Elevation. —Elevation of the hand following operation or injury has a beneficial effect upon throbbing pain by preventing vascular engorgement and dependent edema. The use of a sling should not be expected to provide sufficient elevation References 1. Barnes, R.: The Role of Sympathectomy in the Treatment of Causalgia , J.
